Tim Wojs's questions to Douglas Dynamics Inc (PLOW) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Tim Wojs of Robert W. Baird & Co. asked for an assessment of channel inventory levels for the Attachments segment compared to historical norms, the drivers of favorable mix in the Solutions segment, and the magnitude of price realization.
Answer
President and CEO Mark Van Genderen described company-owned inventory as being in 'very, very good shape.' He noted dealer plow inventory has improved and is close to ideal, while hopper and spreader inventory is right where it should be. EVP & CFO Sarah Lauber explained the favorable mix in Solutions was driven by specific, higher-margin municipal contracts in the first half. She also confirmed that price realization for both segments is in the low single-digit range.
